Document background
First Meeting Minutes are a critical corporate document required under Swiss law for newly established companies. They must be prepared immediately following the first meeting of the company's constituents after incorporation. The document records essential initial corporate decisions, including board appointments, signing authorities, and confirmation of share capital payments. These minutes serve as official evidence of compliance with Swiss corporate law requirements and establish the foundation for the company's corporate governance structure. The document must adhere to requirements set forth in the Swiss Code of Obligations and may need to be presented to various authorities, including commercial registries and banks. First Meeting Minutes are particularly important as they demonstrate that proper procedures were followed during the company's formation and initial organization.
